Mike says:
I wonder if 1500W would make a difference when I can hear  better.  I doubt
it.

What?  Mike, 1500 watts is 5 db more signal than you have now.  If you can hear better, such that you aren't getting out well enough why would you think 5 db more wouldn't benefit you?  5 db is HUGE.  You have down lots and lots of radials, to make your transmitting antenna more efficient.  Yes, by all means 5 db more transmit signal will be .......   wait, I already said that.
